    QOTD: 2008?? I predict, GV will have his own wine column in the NY Times.

    Hey, who won the big ass Silver Oak. And, what do you mean, not enough support for Mott, Link it Up! T-Shirt?? Mott, you got robbed.

    Hey GV,

    When describing the Clio, did you really say “A lot of people have BOUGHTEN this wine”? Classic…

    08 will bring more national exposure for GV. NBC’s Today Show will certainly have him as a guest. There will be more calls from the Food Network trying to work out a show. We still will be unable to have WLTV ship to Minnesota.

    QOTD: “In the year 2008,” “WLTV” will become the most recognized acronym in the wine world, and will be synonymous with all that is new, old, unpretentious, classic, educational, cutting edge, exploratory, and downright enjoyable about vino to anyone and everyone who appreciates wine on any level for any amount of time…and the word “lurker” will be banished from the WL vocabulary as every viewer (which will be everyone who drinks wine in the world) will comment on every show…and Gary’s email inbox will be streamlined to cut out comments that belong here…and everyone will still enjoy Gary’s tasting notes and scored while completely disregarding his opinion in favor of their own palate.

    GV – Thanks for this show – after a long Xmas day. QOTD – 2008? TTS goes Global! Er, wait – that’s happened. TTS schools wine journalism! Aah yeah – that’s done. What’s left Senor V?

    I predict that the Vaynernation will reach critical mass, break-away from the rest of the world and form our own nation. You will be our very own Castro. Do you like Cigars?

    I predict a Mot vs. Gary battle. It’ll happen one day after Mot gets beaned by a stray cork at the end of an episode. It will be a glorious battle.

    Big G, Love the EP. So, No… Mott, Link it up Shirts.. Come on…. Do it for the Hard Core Vayniacs.

    QOTD: I think you didn’t have a Huge Count down for nothing. I can see you getting more into the Making of….You know, A little more Behind the Scenes Action in 08. GV goes Michelle Roland on us. LOL!

    Hey GV,

    In 2008 I see many more shows being taped at Wine Library West; the new location you’ll be opening in Washington State (c’mon, you know you want to)!

    Seriously, I think the show’s popularity will keep building and word will just keep spreading. Maybe you can arrange for all the Vayniacs out there to buy the same champagne and and sip a toast at exactly the same moment worldwide. Is there a record for the world’s largest “toast”?

    Keep up the great work.

    GV,

    Do not end this show in 2008! Network TV? That would be great. Just don’t take away my crack!

    Great Show with Great Variety.

    QOTD: 2008…More company sponsored promotional giveaways…it’s a win-win

    Way to go Gary! I’m learning a lot. QOTD: TTS will offer a “Palate Training Kit” consisting of wet blue stones, dirt, cherries, garbage, cat pee, sweaty socks, Hi-C, etc… about 200 different “experiences” It would sell out in a week. Hope you have a Wonderful Christmas.

    You need to rethink your decision not to produce “Mott, Link it up!(tm)” shirts.

    awesome energy GV you had me rollin a few times!

    QOTD-you keep bringing the thunder. in whatever form it may be!

    More of the same GV. It’s been a great ride so far. GV will be on NBC nightly news filling in for Bryan Williams or maybe the screamer guy on CNBC!

    Had the Clio at Bobby Flay’s by the glass. I thought it overpowered the steak and that’s not what I want to taste. Quintessa is always amongst the better of the high end California Reds and I enjoy their wines whenever I’m feeling flush with bones. Also they have one of the prettier sites on the Silverado trail.

    QOTD: that you do more burgundies on the thunder show. C’mon Gary, bust out some real burgundies, not the bourgones, but real nice prem crus and maybe a grand cru. There hasn’t been a full show of that level of burgundies yet, bring the love gary
